Whenever he started runing her person she always became wary. After all, last time had given him the power to yank her at anytime he wanted with the rope rune on her forehead. The familiar feeling of activation added to the warmth runes always produced on bare skin made her jerk slightly and she twisted a bit in his hold. When her arm gained that numb feeling she about lost it. "Sevilin!" She hated the feeling and she just wanted to shake it to wake it up, not that that would actually do anything. But she sighed and let him reposition her, moving the way he wanted her to, straightening her spine even more and then focusing deeply on the task at hand. Not his scent drifting to her, not the feel of his hand right above her bottom or on her arm, not even the feel of his chest so close behind her or that long braid that was tickling the side of her leg when he moved. Her wrist flicked and there it was! The little swooshy thing appeared and her eyes widened in surprise. "I did it!" She turned to tell Sevilin, brushing against him and glancing back a look of joy on her face. "I did it!" Yes, she was excited.

Ah to be young and that ecstatic about something, how he missed those days. Or at least the parts of those days spent topside learning his runing abilities. The rest could go to hell in a decorative hand basket for all her cared. But he gave her a nod in that praising accomplishment way...before he realized the position that they had put themselves in as she had turned and almost more or less smacked into him.
He was all to aware of where his hands were at this point. From her slight turning, his hand had been moved to resting on her side, just at the top of her hip, while his other hand had been slid from her elbow down to her wrist. He took a breath and licked his lips a moment as a few thoughts raced through his head, ones of pulling her flush prominent amoung them mostly.
Again he stared at her, looking at those eyes that seemed to draw them. Which was odd...they were violet and he'd seen violet ones before so they weren't a surprise nor shocking, but ther as something about them that made him want to catch her gaze and hold it. Shaking his head for a moment as his thoughts came back he pulled back some from her and brought a hand up, swiping it across her shoulder and killing off the rune that kept feeling from her arm.
"There you see...you just can't be overly caring about it. The more you think on the these things the harder they are...you have to let them become second nature like you treat your own innate magical abilities." Give her something to relate to, knowing she could use magics without thought to them.

"Well well. quite an accomplishment for a surface elf. even more so for a female."
One thing a Llothian drow would never admit to..losing a staring contest to a surface elf woman. boy that was going to be a fun sore spot to poke at when Sevilin got smart.
"And he does tolerate you...in a non respectful, housepet of someone else you don't like way. But it will be interesting to see how this plays out, if you actually do get him to tolerate you."
Then a slight grin.
"So..how is that conspiracy with Broog coming along?"

Euphoria the likes of which she had never really felt before filled her at the knowledge that she'd actually done it! She felt like dancing or shouting it to the entire world that she had finally done it! Her body was reacting to the proximity of his and she took a deep breath meeting his eyes. In that moment she had the impulse to just throw her arms around him and hug him tightly...but she didn't adn the moment passed. She wondered briefly if she could even wrap her arms all the way around him, he was bigger than she was but he didn't look to be that big. Maybe? Probably. Now where had that thought come from? His hand swiped, a bit roughly, perhaps and the feeling began to come back in her arm. He pulled back, she stepped back a bit unsettled by their current position and unsure now what to do. She knew she wanted him, she knew how badly she wanted him...but she couldn't act on it. He wouldnt' appreciate it at all. She swallowed and tried to regain her composure, by focusing on what he was saying. "Like this." Absentmindedly her hand filled with faerie fire.

She had the mind to give him a what for for his little line that he started out with. Though after twisting it around a few ways in her head she figured it to take it more of a compliment than an insult. Besides, she enjoyed knowing that by Underdark Rule, Sevilin had indeed lost the little moment of competition. That was one thing she liked about the Underdark, everything was cut and dry. This was how it was and no buts about it. At least she liked it sometimes. "Well...he can learn to tolerate me in a non respectful to my own self way. Drop the part about me being your pet...which I'm not." And he better not get the idea in his head either, sure there was the occassional collar joke, but there was indeed a line to cross. "If I can get him to at least do that, I don't have to be frustrated about being in my own home. That I would like indeed." Though she continued to scratch that symbol into her skin, blood rising in the lines she was creating easily, especially since pooled blood from bruising was already there. "I'd hardly consider it a conspiracy, I'm still trying to figure if it's possible or not...which by the way things are looking it is and that makes me a happy little elf. Though it probably worries and frightens you."
His eyes flicked to her hand and that happened to be the jolt he needed to let go of her and step back. A woman holding a handful of magic just wasn't a pleasant sight or thought to him and it had broken the siren's trance that Zahara had had on him. "Yes...like that." Hey she was right after all now wasn't she? But Sevilin cleared his throat as he rolled his shoulders once then ran a hand through his hair, pushing braid and all over his shoulder, and then clasped his hands behind himself, letting them rest in the small of his back.
Awkwardness. "The sooner it becomes second nature...or I guess third in your case...then the easier it will get. Soon you'll be able to follow anhy rune you're given easily and it will be common place. Of course you'll probably only be sticking to book runes, which are easier." She had expressed enough times for Sevilin to know that this rune mage mock thing she was doing wasn't serious for her, so she'd never reach a level where most rune mages take the books and twist the runes to thier own customized styles through combinations.

"Nothing you've done yet here has worried or frightened me with exaception to that one slap. and that only becuase you had no idea how fast he could have killed you for that. And your apprent hidden pet project..that only concerns my curiousity. Makes me wonder what exactly you are up to. no more than that."
Though a thought did come to mind.
"Won't he be able to sense that runic symbol being on you long before you get close to him?"

She dissolved the fire a moment later absently just watching him. He looked rather boyish standing there like that, almost like he should be rocking back on his heels and shaking his head. But one more look and it was fairly obvious that he was no boy, no Sevilin Inthara was all man. all delectable, strong, enticing, man. She sat back on the corner of the table and watched him for a moment crossing her arms under her breasts and shrugged. "Second, third, I'm sure it will get there eventually. Meanwhile I get to be excited because I did it!" She was grinning like a fool and wasn't about to apologize over it. A pat to Nym who was resting beside her on the table. "I did it fuzzball." tickling his tummy. "All by myself too...well sort of..."

"Yes, but he didn't and that's the important part. I'm sure I would of stilled my hand if you were farther off than you were." Or maybe not. Who knew, point was Malik had been close enough for her to not worry about getting herself maimed or killed for that matter. "And my 'pet project' is nothing to worthy about. Probably costs a little but nothing else really concerning." Though a secretive smile given with that sentence, the one that said 'oh I do know something, but you don't need to know and I don't plan to tell you'. But she turned her wrist to face him showing off the classic runic activation circle all rune mages used, etched in blood, as well as a few other symbols that touched to the cented but extended outside of it, also blood etched. "Sevilin doesn't expect me to be competent in this...but mother had no intention of letting me be defenseless to a rune mage, getting jumped from rune sensing included. She taught me wardings, ones that cancel out the currents one should feel, Sevilin doesn't expect me to know those. He won't know what I've done till it hits him, or him hit me first, whichever comes first." A little smirk to that really. "Not to mention I figured out how to keep him from figuring what I've done to him before it's too late for him to fix the problem."
She was doing it again, watching him in that way that was blatant and no holding back, not caring if he knew or not. Though he was guilty of that as well, watching how her body moved and flexed, either excentuating or dismissing curves at almost her own will. Damn women and thier ability to do that. It was so damn...enticing.
"I suppose you get to be excited." Though behind him his hands were clutching at each other to keep them where they were and from wanting to let them wander over her and feel her skin again, run his fingers through her hair, let his hand mold so easily against curves. For Lloth's sake! Where were those damnable thoughts coming from!? Talk about disturbing.
Attention! He chittered and purred for her, flopping over on his side and exposing his tummy for her for more accurate tummy scratching. Yeah you did it, kind of. Just wait till he thinks you're all dandy on yout own and won't help you with it at all. Then you'll have the real 'fun'. But another chitter, rubbing at her hand with his head a little before gnawing lightly at her fingers.

Was there anything cuter in the world then a purring, nuzzling ferret just begging for attention? Zahara really didnt' think so. She obliged him, scratching and tickling his tummy since after all he wanted her to. The gnawing didn't hurt a bit and she let him do whatever he wished to her hand, watching him be his cute little fuzzy self. A glance up at Sevilin and she grinned, "Of course I get to be excited. I can be whatever I want to be, didn't you know?" She glanced back down at Nym and chuckled, "I still find it hard to beleive that you two are together. You do make such a cute couple though."

"Devious. Clever. I like it. So when do you think we'll be ready to put Sevilin in a compromising situation?"
A grin at her secretive smile. let her have her little secrets. really, if he absolutlely had to know, he could worm it out of Broog. or at least the details concerning him. Besides, let her thing this bothered him alot more than it really did..and she might consider this her 'retaliation' from his little playing eariler.
"Good thing your mother thought about that. rather than trying to thinkshe woudl be able to protect you from them herself."

"I suppose you can be, who's to stop you after all." That was an odd question, in fact he wasn't really sure that it was an actual question. Was probably rhetorical but hey he was allowed to express an opinion whenever the hell he wanted to for that matter. So a little shrug, walking back over to the table and seemingly offering his hand and arm.
Seemed the moment that was done, Nym took a rest for Zahara's attentions and righted himself, hopping over to Sevilin and then onto his palm, balancing most of his weight on the drow's forearm on his own front paws as Sevilin lifted his arm up to let his other hand pet at the creature, who he smiled fondly at and was given an affectionate purring chitter.
"I suppose every one has to have someone or something they're attached to. Like you're always with your daggers, he's always with me. Dare I call it friendship and loyalty between us." Yes that fond smile indeed. Him and the so called 'fuzz ball' were quite attached and had been together since Sevilin was still a boy. Though once he noticed he was wearing his affection for the creature on his face, and right in front of Zahara, he tried to cover it up by taking on that serious thing he did. Damn it."Partners in crime, really."
"Tomorrow morning, right about the time he starts his lessons with Zahara. Let him stew overnight and not think anything of it other than his mind running away...and thinking that that part is your fault anyway." Indeed...her mother had taught her quite a bit, just like this so called 'timer' she was able to implement. She may not be a rune mage, but it was best to be able to dabble...long as you didn't get hurt. She didn't honestly have to carve things into her arm,but she couldn't think of another way to force contact with Sevilin. Though a look up at him. "You know me and mother...couldn't keep me close enough anyway. I was always running off to some distance in my own fancy of whatever caught my eye. Though I will say that I wasn't so enthusiastic about that ten year long study."

Zahara couldn't help but smile at the obvious affection between Sevilin and the ferret. They were more than pet and master, they were friends, probably the only friend Sevilin had ever had in his life. Judging by what she knew about Llothian society and the small things Sevilin had revealed through mannerisms and the background information she did have, she could only guess that he, much like she hadn't had any friends when they were children. There was no real childhood for Drow children growing up like that. Watching the two of them together she felt a poignancy, a need, an ache to mean that much to someone someday. Was it even possible? It was almost like what Piper spoke about with her and Malik and that made her wonder once again, was it real? Her head tilted slightly and she swallowed down the lump that had magically entered into her throat. A small sigh and she nodded, "You're very lucky to have each other." Averting her eyes quickly, she glanced down at the table and traced a pattern on the wood with her nail. Emotion like this was still new and unsettling to her.

"I don't know if lucky is the word. We've both seen things and been subjected to things that neither wants to know of, but it happens." Yes his oldest sister had found it a delightful torture to snatch the little ferret away from Sevilin and hide him away somewhere where he couldn't get out and Sevilin couldn't get in. Usually she lied and said she turned Nym into a purse or other accessory just to see her brother shattered. Of course that had only lasted as long as Sevilin had displayed emotion, which he learned to mask quickly.
Though he was puzzled by her certain change of attitude, that was for sure. She did a lot to puzzle him though and he was starting to either get used to it or fed up with it. He didn't like being outside the loop on the people around him. Gave him a disadvantage on a number of things. Were things awkward again?
Nym looked over to Zahara from where he sat in Sevilin's palm, giving a concerned borderlined sad chitter in her direction. Oh come now what's the matter? Are you sad that I stopped paying attention to you? Is that it? I still love you...and wish to raid your pockets but that's for another time. He duly ran up Sevilin's arm to his braid, latching hold and crawling his way down head first to the floor.
Hitting the floor he climbed up Zahara's skirt and to the table, tugging at her clothes a moment to get her attention before flopping down on his back with paws in the air in that funny manner that he did. Look it! Look it the cute ferret! Look it the funny ferret! You know you want to pet me!

She nodded, "That's the way drow always are. We see things we shouldn't at young ages, hear things no child or adult for that matter should ever hear and it just goes on and on and on. A vicious cycle that never really breaks." She still refused to look at him though her body was urging her to. Urging her to look up and meet his eyes, to let him see just what she was feeling and see if she couldn't soften his attitude towards her. She was living in a dream world with that thought and she knew firsthand, elves don't dream so that wasn't going to happen. A tug on her made her look over slightly and she had to chuckle, the melancholy atmostphere that had surrounded her fading away in light of the fuzzball. "Nym, you're so silly." She shook her head but couldn't resist tickling his little tummy and chucking him lightly under the chin. Amethyst traveled up the length of Sev's body until she hit his eyes, held his gaze and said softly, "Does he always cheer you up?"

Well that was a sight for Sevilin. Nym was a very selective creature, and Sevilin's own judgement on a person sometimes rested heavily with Nym. He was not a creature to be swayed with treats and affections, he liked to pick and choose by personalities. And there he was, flopped on the table and trying to cheer up Zahara, as easily and faithfully as if he was trying to cheer up Sevilin himself.
"Oh...it breaks sometimes." But he let her indulge Nym as the ferret pleased...made him happy to see Nym happy...to see him now curled into a corner, fur matted with dirt and blood, chittering shakily and making the most aweful screams like wails when he was hurt. Sevilin's eyes of course betrayed his mask though as his friend's hurt came back to haunt him for an instant before he seemed to blink it away. "Just not often enough."
Though he sighed and blinked again as suddenly he was staring into violet orbs again. Those eyes that captured him everytime, and brought on a range of emotions. Intrigue, wonder, hopefullness, allure, deisre...but always tinged with fear and a hint of definance. Defiance against what she may want to turn him back into. But she didn't seem the type to indulge that too much which intrigued him further. "Most of the times... he tries his hardest at least. And he never gives up till he gets a smile."
